Thanks for your caution MTXsh.. Always very careful with electricity. but good to know you advise. keep up the gd wrk

Sounds like he was trying to just learn more about DMMs and testing a socket was like a project.

Thanks for your comment MTXSHO9732vV8SHO!

Im still learning about alot of this stuff. really interesting hearing other pros comments...Im wondering if any1 can lead me to some good dmm vids. in particular, actually testing an electrical outlet with my dmm(plug in the wall!!)At my bloody ends wit. cheers...anyone!?

Any DMM can measure the voltage from your wall. A Fluke meter like the one in this video will most likely cost you well over a 100. If you are not measuring high frequency signals, you don't need it.

Set your DMM in an AC VOLTAGE RANGE capable of measuring at least 120 volts (US) 220 volts (Eur).

DO NOT attempt to measure the current or resistance of a wall outlet unless you're positive there is no power to it.

Why are you doing this anyway? Couldn't you just plug in a lamp and check that way

mindbitesdotcom...don't you pay any attention to that dumb ass named majorpainful. That piece of doo doo wouldn't have even been here had he not been trying to learn something. I for one appreciate your efforts. Thanks.
